ELIZABETH—
Not a single assault weapon has been registered in Union County despite a three-year-old law requiring owners of such weapons to register 47 types of automatic and semiautomatic weapons with the authorities, the office of the County Prosecutor, Andrew K. Ruotolo Jr. announced yesterday. No reason was given for the lack of compliance. Sgt. Daniel Cosgrove, a spokesman for the State Police, said that 987 assault weapons had been registered statewide as of Jan. 9. JOE SHARKEY
